He will be missed by all. When I’m Gone When I come to the end of my journey And I travel my last weary mile, Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned And only remember the smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken; Remember some good I have done. Forget that I ever had heartache. And remember I’ve had loads of fun. Forget that I’ve stumbled and blundered And sometimes fell by the way. Remember I have fought some hard battles And won, ere the close of the day. Then forget to grieve for my going. I would not have you sad for a day, But in summer just gather some flowers And remember the place where I lay, And come in the shade of evening, When the sun paints the sky in the west, Stand for a few moments beside me And remember only my best. Graveside services will be held Monday, January 11, 2010 at 11 a.m. at Kaysville City Cemetery, 500 E. Crestwood Road where military honors will be accorded. Funeral directors, Lindquist’s Layton Mortuary, 1867 No. Fairfield Road.
